How do I make piano chords sound interesting when playing along with popular songs? I agree. But it's important to really analyze the chord progressions in each song you learn. I do that NOW, but there were SO many songs I learned before I started into this so now I'm going back over them. |

how do you choose the correct stem length for notes on a beam? argh! postscript! (kidding:) I'll see what I can figure out. Thanks for the help. I think this is some of the most brutal code I've ever written in my life... |

how do you choose the correct stem length for notes on a beam? Hmmm, in my example, I think I chose the wrong note for the anchor stem. Left note lower than right note, stems up, beam more level than the noteheads - would make the right note the shorter "anchor" note. (I think?) |

how do you choose the correct stem length for notes on a beam? Ok, actually, i think you're right. But since beams are pretty level even when tilted, the shorter of the 2 on the outside gets standard length of 3.5, or shortened to a min of 3 (2.5 if beam is off staff). So if slant is low to hi with stems up, leftmost note gets 3.5 or slightly shorter length, and all other stems get lengths to hit the beam slant. Ok, I think I get how it works now. Thanks for the help yall - I appreciate it. I'm beginning to REALLY regret adding standard notation to my sequencer - arrgh ! |

how do you choose the correct stem length for notes on a beam? Per the book "Behind Bars" (which is GREAT), the beam should be level if a) outer 2 notes are the same b) a repeating pattern of notes is beamed (say, b d f b d f) c) an inner note has a shorter stem length than the outside 2 Also, beams should be .5 spaces thick with .25 spaces between. They should either sit or hang on a line or be split evenly by a line, but NEVER be centered on a space. This leads to adjusting the stem length by .25 space for level beams so this will occur. Now, when the beam tilts, it's recommended to keep it at 1 space on average. I'm not sure your way will work..:/ |

how do you choose the correct stem length for notes on a beam? I think the 3.5 space stem length is VERY standard, except where there are reasons to modify the stem per #flags, reaching middle line for ledger notes, etc. For hand written sheets, you can do what you want. But if it's published, it probably needs to meet all engraving standards. Which are PRETTY dang hard to work out :/ |

Canonical drumming books? I agree that it's broad, but I would also REALLY like to hear of some of those sorts of books :) |

Stage Piano with custom samples Well, there were dedicated samplers but they were spendy. |

Stage Piano with custom samples when you do find such a model, It'd be great if you could post back here and answer your own question :) I remember trying to find a synth like this in the 90s and there was only the Peavey DPM3 and you had to send the samples over midi via "sample dump standard" - REEEEally sloww. I wouldn't mind perusing the specs of a modern synth that could presumably load a .WAV set by USB stick or something. |
